We report on nanosecond long, gate-dependent valley lifetimes of free charge carriers in WSe₂, unambiguously identified by the combination of time-resolved Kerr rotation (TRKR) and electrical transport measurements. While the valley polarization increases when tuning the Fermi level into the conduction or valence band, there is a strong decrease of the respective valley lifetime consistent with both electron-phonon and spin-orbit scattering. The longest lifetimes are seen for spin-polarized bound excitons in the band gap region. We explain our findings via two distinct, Fermi level-dependent scattering channels of optically excited, valley polarized bright trions either via dark or bound states.
